It works like this. The US gov sends LE a nastygram saying they must terminate service to sanctioned entities. LE either does that or several people go to jail. The USgov doesn't care how it happens, as long as they can't find any

Yes, of course it could and it will. I don't think the US government has ever missed an opportunity to be corrupt and break shit for stupid reasons.

In the EU there is the threat of jail time if a user of your service does something bad and you haven't completed the necessary bureaucracy to be immune to it. This is the opposite of the US. See for example pissmail.

The US is an oligarchy. Voting in the US is completely irrelevant to which laws pass - there have been studies about this.

Before this, they were all unencrypted and you had to pay to get a cert. I guess we could go back to that - now knowing that every unencrypted connection is being MITMed (the world is so much more hostile now)...

Sounds like the sanctions worked.

I think the point is people are getting sanctioned for arbitrarily stupid reasons these days.

I said hi to an Iranian today. Lets see if LE revokes my website.

Yes actually you still could've. But it would require a pass through the IETF to stabdaddize a DNS record type, and that would delay Netscape's release.

It means they prevent, unless you perform several undocumented arcane rituals.

If each country could only sign its own domains it would make sense. If the US could only tamper with .us domains the system could be trusted in general. After all, that's no worse than what they already do by coming to your house and

Domain registries can already get a certificate for your domain by changing the address to their own server temporarily and then doing ACME with LE. So no new vector is introduced by directly putting the cert in DNS.

That's worse, because ICANN is effectively the US government.

CT seems useless for DANE because the cert is self signed, so anyone can just flood the CT with self signed certs for your website. It's useful with WebPKI because only certs signed by a CA go in CT and it's a big deal if one is m

Why didn't the university just ignore the terms of service?

What if the branch in Iran was the main branch?

by trumpdong 4mo ago
We all knew something like this was coming when we decided to centralise the web around Let's Encrypt. In reality of course you can probably just ignore this as long as you request the certificate from a proxy in a nonsanctioned countr

I think the only way to deal with that right now is to hire a company whose job is to deal with it. They'll random-check your outgoing emails are indeed what you say they are, and they maintain a reputation with the big providers for c

There's something you can do in between - you can check the domain has an MX record.

That was revoked some years ago.

If you try to create a Discord account with Firefox Klar as your default browser, on Android, immediately upon signing up you'll be banned. I have to assume this is because it clears cookies and thinks you're a bot farm.

Reasonable, yes, but they won't happen, because prosecutors never prosecute themselves.

You know what does this better than a humanoid robot? A toilet with a built-in dispenser for mild chemicals! It could do it periodically, or with every flush so that the mild cleaning chemicals are always sitting there. An unsophisticated o

Indeed. It says they rely on two different substances which normally don't mix (nitrates and sulfites), presumably because if they were both present at the same time they'd react with each other directly without the bacterium extr

You could work at Palantir and leak details, and I don't think thats what this discussion is about. If you wanted to destroy a company from the inside by whatever means, you'd have to get hired there.

If you want to get rich quick there's a huge lesson here: sell to children early. If you can get 5-year-olds hooked on your product and growing up thinking it's the only way to do things, they will give you a huge amount of money
